I see nothing unwiki-like in suggesting that a person

additions to an article when disputes arise. That's a pretty standard
expectation in any collaborative environment. There's no lack of assumption
of good faith involved in an editor removing an addition if they have reason
to believe it is not beneficial to the article.
But if they remove it from a generally anti-spam ideological point of
view, or on the grounds of "conflict of interest", then there is such a
problem of good faith being disregarded. Quiddity has now gone into this
in greater detail, and WP:EL is _very clearly_ drafted from an anti-spam
perspective.
